Roberta’s Law, effective March 22, 2013, expands victim notification rights. If the inmate
is convicted of Aggravated Murder, Murder, a first, second or third degree offense of violence or
is serving a life sentence, the victim will be automatically notified of specified events,
regardless of whether the victim has requested notification. Please click
here for more information.

Notes:This site displays data on those offenders
who are currently incarcerated in an Ohio prison, currently under Department supervision,
judicially released, or who died of natural causes while incarcerated.

You can combine searches to narrow the results, but please note that it is better to have
too little search criteria than too much.

Name Search

Searches may be done by last name alone or by both first and last names. Searching
by first and last name will narrow your results.

A last name search of 'Brown' will provide a list of offenders whose last name is Brown
as well as those offenders whose last name begins with 'Brown, such as Browning, Browner,
etc. It will also list offenders who are Brown, Jr.; Sr.; III; etc.

County of Commitment Search

Searches by County of Commitment produces a list of those offenders who are
sentenced from the selected county.

Residential County and/or Zip Search

Searches by Residential County or Zip Code only searches offenders whose status
is 'APA Supervision' or 'Violators at Large.'

'APA Supervision' status will include those offenders under APA Supervision (e.g.,
parole, post release control, etc.) as well as those offenders who are Violators at Large
(VAL).

'Violators at Large' status will include only those offenders who have absconded APA
Supervision.

Next Parole Board Hearing Date Search

Searches by Next Parole Board Hearing Date will produce a list of offenders
currently scheduled for a Parole Board hearing on the entered Month and Year. Date must
be entered as YYYYMM (Ex: 201408 = August 2014).

Offender Number

Searches by Number should be used if the offender number is known. A prefix, 'A',
'R', or 'W', must be used to search by offender number. 'W' is used for all female inmates.
'A' and 'R' denote male inmates, with the vast majority of male inmates using 'A' prefix.

Please note that all offender numbers are 6 digits, no spaces or hyphens. For example,
123-456 becomes 123456. Female offender numbers are generally 5 digits, and in those cases,
a leading zero must be added to properly search by offender number. For example, 12345
becomes 012345.
